The Premier League has suspended its broadcast deal with Russia following the country’s invasion of neighbouring Ukraine.

The move will take effect immediately, meaning Thursday’s four matches will not be shown in the country.

The matter took only 15 minutes of a four-hour meeting of all 20 clubs in London on Tuesday to agree.

In a separate move, the Football Association has also suspended its deal with Russia.

That means none of this month’s FA Cup quarter-final matches will be shown.

More soon…
